Now that the excavation of 800,000 tons of rock from the Sanford Underground Research Facility is complete, LBNF-DUNE teams are working on the the far detector in South Dakota and the near detector at Fermilab in Illinois. The science collaboration includes more than 35 countries and DOE’s Office of Science is supporting the LBNF-DUNE to help answer some of physics’ biggest questions.

DOE Office of Science will support two new areas of growth for Fermilab: high school student apprenticeship to expand the technicians’ teams and lab engineers in the
development of innovative ideas.

Fermilab’s Silvia Zorzetti has received a $2.5 million Early Career Award from the Department of Energy for her research in quantum information preservation.

The U.S. Department of Energy awarded Guillermo Fernandez Moroni $2.5 million over 5 years to fund his project developing sensors to study the early universe. His work could enable surveying tens of thousands of distant galaxies at a time.

The U.S. Department of Energy recognizes Fermilab employee and key partner for improving sustainability at Fermilab.

The U.S. Department of Energy announced $137 million in funding for 80 projects in high energy physics. The funding will support research projects on muon and neutrino science, quantum mechanics of black holes, dark matter and Fermilab’s Short Baseline Neutrino program, including the ICARUS experiment.

The U.S. Department of Energy chose two new projects at Fermilab — an apprenticeship program for particle accelerator technicians and a collaboration bringing quantum courses and training programs to colleges — for funding under the Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce initiative.

Seven students have received the prestigious U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Research Award to conduct their research at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.

Fermilab’s Silvia Zorzetti has been awarded the prestigious Early Career Award from the U.S. DOE for her pioneering research in developing technology that will lay the foundations of the quantum internet. The project’s goal is to improve quantum sensors and sensor networks, so as to allow a more efficient conversion of information and quantum signals between different physical platforms

Guillermo Fernandez Moroni and Silvia Zorzetti are two of 93 early career scientists recognized by DOE for groundbreaking research.
